THE BACKSTREETBOYS: Rolling Stone Fall Music Preview!

LOWDOWN: "You
hang in there just long enough and it'll come back around," says
Backstreet Boys' Nick Carter. "Those great R&B ballads and dance
songs you can shake your butt to," A.J. McLean elaborates. "The idea
was going back to being us." Helping the foursome rediscover their
former selves are songwriters Ryan Tedder and Claude Kelly, T-Pain and
Pitbull and veteran hit-maker Max Martin. But never mind the gimmicks,
it's all about the vocals, Brian Littrell contends: "There is a magic
that happens when we all sing together."
